BVS10 Mk2 “VIKING”

Here is a great example of how we use 3d-printing in our repair and upgrade work. We built a BVS10 model back in the days and recently were contacted by the Mariniers museum Rotterdam. For their new exhibition they would need it but they wished it to be updated with the armour fencing and the weapons dome.

Based on images only we designed the fencing and dome around our existing model. It was printed on our multijet printer with gratings as fine as 0.5mm. After post processing the paint was matched to the model and full camouflage colouring was added to match the existing model. Finally small acrylic windows where added to the dome.

It will be on show by the end of the year at mariniers museum Rotterdam.

RPA8 – Kooiman BV

The vessel, RPA 8, is a hybrid patrol vessel that can sail on both diesel as well as diesel-electric. The vessel causes considerably less wake and is significantly more efficient than comparable vessels in this segment.

We delivered 5 large models of the RPA8 to Kooiman BV. This was a perfect example of where modern technologies are surpassing traditional scale modelling. 95% of this model is SLA 3D printed incl complete hull and super structure.

One of the models even contained a removable part to see the hybrid power train.

Dynamic Outrigger Frame

The dynamic outrigger frame is designed to install wind turbine monopile foundations from a floating heavy lift vessel, while keeping its position by means of a dynamic positioning (DP) system. This system compensates for residual vessel motions and maintains the correct pile position, orientation and verticality during the pile-driving process.

Our scale model was produced in only 3 weeks. The CAD model was corrected and prepared in house by AllOnScale and completely printed on our multi jet printer. Complete incl the railings and stairs. It was all painted in true colors and finally logo’s where added. The control containers are also printed on our multijet while the monopile is FDM printed. To install the model we used a wooden baseplate with wooden block representing the ship hull. A dark blue acrylic simulates the sea level.

OPTS from Offco

OFFSHORE PASSENGER TRANSFER SYSTEM, mostly referred to as “OPTS” is an offshore transfer system that can transfer a limited number of people from one position to another, either from a limited position to a mobile one or the other way around. It’s a totally new way of transfer and no other offshore equipment with the same concept has been made for such application.

This model was delivered within 2 weeks. It was completely made inhouse and printed on our multi jet printer.

AllOnScale delivers its first 100% 3D-printed scale model

The award-winning Hi-Traq power cable trencher from Royal IHC is a unique self-leveling suspension system for the installation and burial of offshore power cables. The highly innovative and versatile four-track tooling platform provides unequaled steering and traction performance which facilitates trenching operations in the challenging sub sea environments found at offshore renewables locations.

In May 2017 Royal IHC approached AllOnScale to create a scale model of the Hi-traq to be used at fairs and customer visits. Due to the high complexity of the model it would be extremely difficult and time consuming to produce this manually, however since this year AllOnScale has added an impressive capability to its range. The large volume 3D-printer from market leading 3D-systems delivers models that rival hand built models.

AllOnScale received the CAD model of the Hi-traq and started to break it up into printable and to be painted parts. The separate files where made printable, some by hand, some using specialized software. All CAD work, printing, and finishing were done in house in the Netherlands.

After printing, the parts where placed in an oven to remove the support wax used while printing and then washed. The quality of the printed parts is so high that sanding is not necessary and paint can be applied immediately. As the parts originate from a CAD file the assembly is easy and all fits together snugly. All our models are delivered with a baseplate, nameplate and acrylic cover. In this case we simulated the ocean floor with some real sand.

This model was created in 4 weeks and contains each and every detail from the CAD file right down to the nuts and bolts. If handcrafted this would take 10-15 weeks to complete. AllOnScale’s ability to deliver fully handcrafted, fully printed or combination of the two gives us unlimited potential.

We created a vision of future transport

A Hyperloop is a proposed mode of passenger and/or freight transportation, first used to describe an open-source vactrain design released by a joint team from Tesla and SpaceX. Drawing heavily from Robert Goddard’s vactrain, a hyperloop is a sealed tube or system of tubes through which a pod may travel free of air resistance or friction conveying people or objects at high speed while being very efficient. Hardt is the European Hyperloop Company. It was founded in 2016 in Delft, emerging from the TU Delft Hyperloop team who won at the SpaceX Pod Competition.

Thanks to AllOnScale you can already now enjoy the Hardt hyperloop in scale 1:40. We completed this scale model in 4 weeks. The Hyperloop train is 100% 3d printed on our multi jet printer. It was printed in sections and installed together. The interiour is light up with a double row of LED’s. The full interiour with all its panels and furniture is shown. All chairs are 3d printed. Glas is CNC cut from sheets of acrylic. The train was installed in acrylic tubes of ø90mm. The rail and pillars where SLS printed. The rail finished in aluminium color and the pillars in a concrete look effect paint. On top of the tubes we installed solar panels. The whole model is firmly installed on a wooden baseplate.

The world’s biggest eye on the sky

ESO, the European Southern Observatory, is the foremost intergovernmental astronomy organisation in Europe and the world’s most productive astronomical observatory.

In 2018 we produced 3 scale 1:140 scale models of the ELT. With a diameter of 800mm a very impressive sight. The complete lattice works, the telescope frame and outer panels are SLA printed in a strong nylon and finished with paint. Fine details like railings and stair cases where added later in brass. The whole model sitz on a wooden baseplate of 1x1m and is covered by a acrylic case to keep dust (and hands) away.

The 3 large models created are now on display at the ESO headquarters. A combination of traditional handcraft as well as 3D-printing the large frame works created exceptional quality models. The first one is on show to the public at the newly openend at the ESO Supernova Planetarium & Visitor Centre in Garching bei München, Germany.
